Sleeping Pads

What are the best pads for overnight?

I have a medium flow, and I really don't like wearing tampons to sleep because I'm afriad I'll forget to take it out, and I sometimes oversleep and I hear it's not good to leave them in over 8 hours. I mean I wear tampons to swim and everything athletic, i just don't want to wear them overnight. What is the best brand of pad for sleeping? Thanks.

I would say pads such as Lunapads http://www.lunapads.com they are cloth pads which makes them instantly better than commercial pads because they are more hygienic and a hell of a lot more comfortable. Cloth pads in general are more comfortable so they won’t make you move about as much during your sleep, they are held in with fasteners rather than glue that would become unstuck, so cloth pads don’t gather up or leak as much, also you can add extra liners to the pad during the night for extra protection. Lunapads are particularly good as they are cheap and really well made so they sit nice and comfortably. I would also suggest their padded panties, these are underwear with pads built-in so they are much more comfortable and give better protection as they stay in place, close to your body and have the area of the underwear as well as the pad itself to keep leaks in at night, Lunapads do a brand called Lunapanties. Reddy’s pads http://www.reddyspads.com are good too, these are period belts, they are about 3 times bigger than normal pads and fasten around your waste, this means that they don’t move about in your sleep, and they give much better protection.

As a note, tampons are unsafe whenever you wear them, using them overnight not only means you can’t change them every 4-6 hours as you’re supposed to, but it also means there is less flow going into the tampon. With less flow going into the tampon it means it absorbs more vaginal fluids, this cause vaginal splitting and ulceration due to vaginal dryness. This is a major contributing factor to tampon risks such as TSS, vaginal infections and difficult periods, this is also why you don’t use tampons on light days, when not menstruating, and you always use the lowest absorbency possible.

Have you considered menstrual cups? Menstrual cups are bell-shaped cups made from silicone or rubber that you insert into your vagina to collect menstrual flow. Cups are folded, inserted and you twist to create a light seal, to remove simply squeeze the bottom and pull out. They are an alternative to tampons as they're safe and hygienic, don't encourage bacterial growth or prevent vaginal cleaning, they can also lessen cramps and flow compared to tampons. Cups don't leak and can be worn for up to 12 hours including before your period, during the night, for sports including swimming, and from light to heavy flow. Cups are safe, clean, hygienic, mess-free, fuss-free, convenient, comfortable, easy to use, reliable, environmentally friendly, body-positive, cheap and companies are ethical. Menstrual cup brands; Divacup, Mooncup UK, Mooncup US, The Keeper, Miacup, Lunette, Ladycup, Pinkcup, Femmecup, Yuuki. I’d recommend http://www.ladycup.com Ladycup. There are also softcups called Instead http://www.softcups.org which are a similar but sit higher up in the vagina, softcups can also be worn during sex to avoid mess during menstruation.
